Brick near Boston
No longer have room in my life for it. I don't like the idea of getting
rid of it, but I don't have a chance to use it much these days either.
In good shape, mostly stored indoors since I've had it. Web site by its
builder and previous owner:http://www.geocities.com/owlnmole/brick.pdf
Comes with a Bohndell sail in very good condition, and a pair of oars if
you want them and I can find them. Or you can stand around and yak for a
couple of hours while I carve a pair, but then we can't be sure they
won't warp. Anyway, the boat is currently in Newton in a space I'm
hoping to vacate soon.
For those of you who don't know the Brick, and I assume that's not very
many, it's the most boat you can get from 3 sheets of plywood. It's got
the cockpit of a much larger boat in ... well, in nothing. It's all
cockpit. Room and bouyancy for 4 adults with their legs straight out. (I
assume so, I've been out with another adult, and with 4 kids, but not
with 3 other adults. Kids seem to like it a lot. My friend's kids like
it better than his 24 footer.) Slow, but sails remarkably well, possibly
due to that Bohndell sail. Quite stable. It's true that it bogs down a
little with 4 adults, but it still sails ok. A 400 passenger load seems
a bit on the light side. It weighs 75 pounds, so two small people or one
large one shouldn't have any trouble moving it. I carry it on top of my
Saturn. It will row after a fashion, but it's not fun for that. Bolger
says the design does ok with a SMALL motor. The WTF factor is very high,
and you'll always have people asking what it is, and smiling.
Anyone interested? It will probably go to the highest offer, assuming I
believe that person will take care of it.

P.S. Don't worry, I have no intention of giving up my rowboat.
